Capcom knows Monster Hunter Wilds’ hammer needs buffs, but an action RPG legend is already using it to recreate an iconic Monster Hunter World clip that’s becoming a meme all over again

by

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the hammer might not be the optimal choice as a weapon, but that hasn’t deterred an action RPG legend from employing it to reenact an iconic Monster Hunter World video in a unique way.

In response to player feedback, Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds director Yuya Tokuda announced that they are planning to make several modifications to the game, including tweaks to weapon balance. These adjustments will be rolled out gradually with each new update. More specifically, they are looking at increasing the power of hammers and then making further overall balance changes for weapons. These changes could potentially be implemented in the May update or the second summer update.

It’s evident that enhancements are on their way, but they’re not essential for pulling off some impressive feats. Recently, SunhiLegend posted a video on Twitter showcasing him launching Xu Wu high into the sky with a powerful hammer slam, seamlessly transitioning from a spin attack to a countering offset attack. The synchronization, accuracy, and overall visual appeal of the scene are truly captivating – after a series of spins, the attack hits its mark squarely in the monster’s mouth as it charges forward.

Hey there, fellow gaming enthusiast! If you’re getting a strange sense of familiarity, let me fill you in. I’m talking about none other than SunhiLegend, the same skilled player who, a few years ago, left us all jaw-dropped with an epic Monster Hunter World clip. In this clip, he managed to pull off yet another breathtaking spinning hammer attack on a Tigrex, sending that wyvern soaring and, presumably, causing quite a bit of tooth loss in the process.

If you’ve been hooked on Monster Hunter since before Wilds, there’s a high chance you’ve come across a gif of this clip, or maybe even seen it edited to some music, funny captions, and whatnot. The nostalgia kicks in when you see the sequel, and let me tell you, it’s even more impressive! Some folks have nicknamed that hammer attack “the legend,” and rightly so. So if this sparks a wave of memories for you, just know you’re not alone!

One fan posted, “The Wilds just received a slow-motion Tigrex video.” Another exclaimed, “The Tigrex clip has been dethroned.” This makes me wonder if the original footage played any role in developing offset attacks,” another user speculates.

I’ve seen that some folks have been gracious enough to create their own edits of the fresh clip – it just seems fitting, given the circumstances.

Let’s be patient and observe how players perform once Capcom modifies the hammer. The more enticing gameplay footage it generates, the superior the outcome will be.
